Episode 80 - Second-Person (You Walked Into the House)

<p>In this episode, the two Matts dwell on working at the various story food shops by the Papier brothers, wonder how a second person video game could work, pad out the episode length due to the lack of examples about the subject, and talk about the oft-forgotten second-person perspective and how one could write it. What benefits does having the prose say "you do this" or "you did that" bring to a story? Why is it so rare? What examples are there other than those Choose Your Own Adventure books from back in the day? When will Matt Donald ever do that skit about the characters from The Magic School Bus meeting up with the world of Megazoic? We discuss it all, keeping an acceptable distance of ten thousand miles between us to do our part in social distancing, and talk about the aforementioned Choose Your Own Adventure books, Animorphs, the Revenge of the Sith novelization, and Ratatouille for some reason.</p> <p>Have any feedback or questions for our hosts?
